Trends come and go ,
Hope did purple in the early nineties then dropped it then brought it back out. If your into bikes for the longtime you'll see it all ends up going full circle....
Theres quite a few riders round that way. Theres a couple in watford. A few in St albans and some from Harpenden....
Just be patient and someone will post
You just haven't seated the tyre properly.
They come with Raleigh Tubes. I've got loads of those dustcaps lying around at work , Pm me your adderess and i'll send you some. :)
Discs on the rear of mods and stocks are nothing new. Look at the Megamo Equip bikes. My mate never had any problems with his set up on that.
I have a friend in Spain who just ordered a rear Hope Mono trial for his 221ti and he loves it. He was at the Euro champs and saw Cesars Mono trial hold in some good sections.....
So he went for it and loves it...
He still isn't doing bad to be actually importing stuff into the uk. :-
Someone was saying hes giving the company a bad rep? Whys that?
...I miss half the stuff that goes on in this forum....
It was like that from new? I've got a f**ked one out in the garage , Its been in about 10 bikes had about 4 owners and now its back with me , I usually just tigthened it up till it was a sqeeze to get in the steerer tube , then did the final bit.
Even so , its cracked on the weld?
So surely a FREE replacement would be a better practice. Hes landed on the bashplate quite heavily i can see , but it still resembles a bashplate.
No offence but You must sell these bikes with a disclaimer list a mile long.....
